I sideloaded the OTA the same day it released instead of waiting for it to be pushed to my phone.

I'm still on DP2 with the Nov 5 patch level. Figured being in the beta program I'd get the official patch right away but nothing yet.

Mee too still no dec patch

my understanding is on beta you will not get the security patches, when the dp2 becomes the propper version then remember to come out the beta program

Still no OTA for my Pixel XL.
Stock 8.0 Nov security patch.

Sideloaded it here.. not waiting!

Definitely the 8.1
So, there are 2 Google Pixel 2 XL phones in the house... 1 64GB and 1 128GB. Guess which one got the 8.1 update (528GB)? That's right, the 64GB! The 128GB is still waiting...
Both phones were purchased straight from Google and added to AT&T

In my case i just opted out beta program, check settings and received 8.0.0 notification. It erased my phone but i don't care. Installed and check for 8.1. Received as well and done.
Backup tool in pixel and auto fill for my passwords made it easy
Now I'm on 8.1 december security patch. Always locked and never with root

I also sideloaded shortly after it was posted on my Pixel XL. However, I just noticed this article...
http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/1...pulling-latest-otas-promised-itll-fixed-2018/
Apparently, the "Check for Update" button functionality was broken recently via an update to Google Play Services. That bug won't be corrected until early in 2018. So - it appears the best way to get the 8.1 update (if you don't want to wait until next year), would be to sideload the OTA or flash factory images - depending on your preference and bootloader status...
Good luck.

Do people still capture the incremental OTA update filename from logcat, and post for people to sideload, or since Google publishes the full OTA's, do people just sideload that? Wondering if there's really a difference? Thanks!

Got it to update! I read on another forum to put it in airplane mode, clear the cache then the data in Google services framework, and then turn airplane mode off.... almost immediately after turning airplane mode off, I got the notification for the latest update!

Thank you. Mine didn't show up after clearing cache and data. I rebooted and there is was.
My question is that the sideload file on Google's download page is approximately 960 MB while the OTA notification I just received is about 567MB. Are they the same?
Thanks

Obviously they're not the same. It seems Google only needed to update your particular rom the 567 MB. Were you on the beta?

Is it possible to restore Netflix after flashing?

It's been already 3-4 days where I'm flashing, bricking and restoring my phone, all this for a crappy gcam... But anyway, after first flash I see that OTA updates are ****ed up, but that's ok, Netflix still works just fine. Fast forwarding to today, I flash again stock ROM after being stuck without touchscreen on TWRP, but this time weirdly enough OTA updates work just fine, in fact now I'm have March update, but Netflix just doesn't install itself. So I check on the play store and I don't find it, I check on internet and I see that it doesn't work on rooted phones... Guess what, mine isn't rooted at all. But still has it's bootloader unlocked.

Do you have Google Play Protect ON in Settings -> Security & location?

install netflix from apkmirror, Wipe data and cache from playstore and reboot. It could be the bootloader unlocked, in that case youll have to root it with magisk to get the safetnet working.

Successfully update to Android 10 beta with magisk installed but now I am without TWRP. Tried flash TWRP with adb but it reboot to bootloader every time. Maybe TWRP must be updated for Android.

This is failing for me. Gets to 2% then fails. I'm on Rooted 128 GB Tecent with WW ROM, fingerprint is changed to WW.

If you're rooted then you probably need to flash it manually.

Does anyone have the Android 10 beta full RAW firmware ???
Hello, if anyone has access to the full Android 10 beta RAW firmware, please share it with us. Thanks !!!

Wow it's amazing. The red tint gone and it's way too smooth

It seems this has also broken the ability to enable VoLTE (*#*#4636*#*#) greys out the options but they do show up in the Settings menus. So not sure what that means?
EDIT: Ignore, its because the profile set in PDC was reset as someone else has pointed out. I JUST got VOLTE to work again after working with AT&T to get a provisioning error resolved (this was on their end, but probably because I was swapping SIMs between phones for testing)
Im going to let this settle a little bit before I try upgrading again to this (I downgraded back to 9 in fear that VOLTE wasnt going to work again)

Unable to install Google Play on Matepad (BAH3-L09)

Hi. My Matepad is BAH3-L09 and I was not able to install Google Play on it as I keep receiving "LZPlay not support" in Chinese language. I tried several top instructions on YouTube, but none works. Anyone managed to install it on your Matepad?

Same Problem here, BAH3-W09

fonetech just posted a new video. maybe it can help you guys?

Unfortunately the lila g app itself doesn't work on the Matepad 10.4 version.
So no luck with those "install on every device" videos.
Seems to be the same with the P40 Lite 5G model
Here is a screenshot of the error:

Unfortunately we are not talking about the "May Backup App Error".
I tried that already.
Please take a look at the pictures added to this post.
First one is our problem, the second picture the may error.

I hope so, too.
Don't know yet, why it is not supported.
At the moment you can't really find anything about it on the internet.
I've got Gapps installed on my P40 Pro. For a mobile phone, I think it is required.
On the tablet however, i think its more a nice to have than really necessary.
Furthermore, I wrote to Amazon Video, Netflix and Disney+ support and all of them said that "they are working on it"
So fingers crossed that HQ Streaming of those services will be available.
Although Disney+ does Stream in 1080p without Widvine L1.
Edit: Found an article about the problem. https://www.justandroid.net/2020/07...ernative-solutions-also-affects-matepad-10-4/

I'm having the same issue installing on Matepad 10.4 WiFi (BAH3 W09). No method works, LZplay (G icon app) always gives the error button on opening and cant go any further. Tried replacing 'backup' app exactly as directed in a couple of videos, no luck.
Anyone got Google 7&Play to install on this model?

Looking into this I would guess Huawei have removed the 'stubs' in the system firmware that allowed the LZplay app to work in the first place (and allowed it to install the required stuff as system apps). If newer devices are being rolled out without those 'stubs' then we are out of luck as far any LZplay method goes.

I don't really know what the function of the "stubs" file is, but if it is removed, is it possible to add it back and then install LZPlay?

Actually, it isn't 'stubs', I got that wrong. It's an undocumented API that existed in the firmware/ROM that allows LZplay to install the google stuff as system apps (and they need that to work). If they have removed that API from affected models, and it looks like many new ones might be in the same boat going forward, then I cant see any way of a user restoring it.
If that is the case then the only way to get GMS/Play etc will be a new non LZPlay method (that seems unlikely given the system access required) or if the ban gets lifted and Huawei add it back in future firmware updates (not sure how likely that would be either). A shame, as this is a very nice tablet otherwise.
Another thing to note is this doesn't have a gyroscope either, though the spec sheets wrongly say it does.
I've only just got my Matepad 10.4 from the Huawei UK store, so I'm seriously thinking of sending it back in the 14 day window. I could live without GMS/Play, but it is annoying.

Just one workaround - you can install VMOS virtual machine. It is not perfect - they have just Android 5.1 and 7.1 images and of course you have to start the application, but it works.
Between the AppGallery and the VMOS I have all I need. And the Trump's stupid trade war just allowed me to get the top tablet cheaper than Huawei would sell it otherwise. Every cloud has a silver lining.

And one more solution - HiSuite enables (as of today, not sure for how long) to downgrade firmware. And LZPlay works on the older firmware.
Of cause - the downgrade will delete all data on the tablet.

Ive no problem erasing everything, but are you sure it will work on an older firmware? Do you have a link to that info at all?
Pretty sure the firmware mine came loaded with ended with 115. LZPlay didn't work with that and I have let it update since then to the latest version. I think the first version made for this tablet ended in 108 (can't see an earlier revision in a google search). I assume that's what the first models in early April would have shipped with. If LZPlay has never worked with this model though downgrading wont be any help.

It worked for my tablet which I bought a few days ago, but I now realize I have LTE version - so different model.
Still I guess the LZPlay problem may be similar. LZPlay does not fully work anywhere anymore. Even when it works, it fails to do its work on its own and has to be helped by manually installing things. I used https://youtu.be/pdgGkHEe7V4 .
My experience: After getting the tablet I updated it to the newest firmware and then tried to install GP. Bad luck. No device admin request from LZPlay, just small popup with two buttons in Chinese. I guess Huawei removed the API as written above. After downgrade through Hisuite (4.6GB download), LZPlay "worked" (it asked to be device admin and shown screen where it would have downloaded GP things if it had worked properly - though the downloads failed - I think that is normal). Then I went according to the describtion which was under the YouTube video. I had to redo installing of APKs twice (maybe I did not follow it perfectly first time) and I added Google account when starting Google Play Store (so not as described under that video), but it worked.
I was kind of confused by LZPlay for some time - the fact it fails to download etc is normal state of things. I guess it used to be one-click solution, but not any more. Still I guess that running it is essentiall to enable other steps to work.

Google Play system update problem

My Google Play system update was stuck on 1 July for several months now. And today I notice it turns red with no more updates available. Anyone have the same problem nor know how to fix it?
I'm on latest stock ROM with locked BL.

Same here, is there an update??

That is apparently the current version?

Same on my phone, but I could update it manually to Sept 1. now.
Weird that it was not done automatically.

This was a problem for me as well. My moto g 5g was stuck on that of 1 August 2020. I searched all over the internet but couldn't find anything that would work. I even did a factory reset but that too didn't work and the it was still showing that no updates were available. But yesterday while I was using the "Multiple User" option available under the "System" in settings (not as guest but new user) and tried checking Google Play system update and surprisingly there was an update available. I changed from new user to the original user (admin) and found that still there was no update available there. So I checked back to the new user and updated the phone. Why Google treated the new user differently is something that I want to know?
